The best riff from 1987 is Mayhem's "Deathcrush" but you never listen to your friend about anything ever so I'm not surprised its missing!

Lol I love the tension between not saying anything nice and saying "best guitar center riff of all time."

Was listening to the Db's 1987 album "The Sound of Music" yesterday because I got it on vinyl for cheap, and thinking, man, Peter Buck is all over this---and he was! But by 1987, that sound kind of feels so washed. The DBs are overrated, is what I'm saying, but also, that Peter did change his sound up quite a bit as R.E.M. went on, right? I think he got less riffy, probably.
